With
the launch of our new G900X series – and its authorized installation group of factory-trained
Aviation Distributors – Garmin is bringing integrated “big screen” avionics to
selected models of kit-built aircraft. Initially, the Lancair IV/IV-P and
ES/ES-P, and Van’s RV-10, RV-9/9A, and RV-7/7A airframes will be able to
install this leading-edge G900X system. Equipment deliveries should begin later
this year, with airframe-specific software and custom bracketing available
early in 2007.

Garmin’s® G900X™: The Ultimate Glass Cockpit for Kitplanes

G900X

OLATHE, Kan./July 23, 2006/PR Newswire — Garmin International Inc., a
unit of Garmin Ltd. (Nasdaq: GRMN), today announced its G900X avionics suite will
be available on a number of leading kitbuilt aircraft – Lancair’s IV/IV-P
and ES/ES-P, and Van’s RV-10, RV-9/9A, and RV-7/7A. This is the first
time Garmin has offered an all-glass panel for kitplane airframes.

“The G900X is a highly reliable system that dramatically increases
safety of flight and situational awareness,” said Gary Kelley, Garmin’s
vice president of marketing. “We are confident that our industry-leading
technology and core principles – commitment to quality, reliability,
service, and value – will make the G900X an extremely popular avionics
suite with kitplane owners.”

The G900X avionics suite integrates all primary flight, navigation,
communication, terrain, traffic, surveillance, weather, and engine sensor
data on two 10.4-inch, high-definition LCDs. The color TFT displays
on the G900X suite boast XGA (1,024x768-pixel) resolution with wide viewing
angles. The following G900X system components will be available on the
Lancair and Van’s airframes:

The primary flight
display (PFD) replaces many of the traditional cockpit instruments and
presents this information in an integrated fashion on a large-format
display, and the multi-function display (MFD) puts all
aircraft-systems monitoring and flight-planning functions at the
pilot’s fingertips

Designed with
reversionary capabilities, allowing all flight-critical data to
transfer seamlessly to a single display for added safety during flight

Solid-state Attitude and Heading Reference System
(AHRS), which can align while in motion, including in-flight dynamic
restarts

Optional integrated Class-B Terrain Awareness and
Warning System (TAWS) with worldwide terrain and U.S. obstacle
database, which does not require an external LRU as with other TAWS
systems

Kitbuilders purchase the G900X through a Garmin G900X qualified
distributor. Specific AHRS and magnetometer mounting brackets are included
with the G900X. These customized brackets will help simplify the assembly
process and allow homebuilders to install these sensitive instruments with
the assurance that the Garmin G900X certified distributor will approve the
installation. The G900X distributor-supplied package also includes the
wiring harness and installation drawings.

The G900X will be available in the first quarter of 2007 at a suggested
retail price of $66,745. Additional G900X information is available from any
of the approved Garmin G900X Experimental Aircraft distributors. A
list of these distributors is available at www.garmin.com.
